My car! My car is now sat on the drive, causing me hassle already ;-) That damned immobiliser had me unable to start the engine for 10 minutes until I'd locked and unlocked it, set and unset the alarm so many times I thought it was going to fall off :)
Hmm. Anyhow, it's in pretty good shape for a car that was valued by Parkers at under £1000. Rust round the petrol filler, but there are no other serious spots - some surface rust, and the totally rusted through exhaust was replaced by the dealer without us even needing to ask. Taken it for a quick drive and it's quite nippy - can't wait to see how it performs on the motorway, though I bet it doesn't do as well as Mum's Almera, nor Dad's Megane (I WANT one of those).
I'm currently drooling over an Ericsson T68. I can get one for £80 but that would mean giving up this contract for life phone I got from my mum only a little while back. What I could do, I guess, is get the phone and SIM, then give the SIM along with the contract and my old phone to my folks, but keep the new phone. Yeah. I like that. My mum needs a new contract anyhow, and seeing as I can get it half price from T-Mobile's Employee Call benefit... £12.50 a month for the Everyone 100 package (100 anytime, any network minutes a month) ain't bad at all.
Speaking of T-Mobile. Work. Work is fine, nothing exciting. Had a review today, came out good. I really don't mean to be patronising, but damnit I KNOW I am capable of this and probably understand a lot of stuff better than the trainers (i.e. - I asked why customers get a 14 day return period on contract mobiles, knowing it was because of the Consumer Credit Act - and got nothing back). I freely admit, however, that the customer facing side of things is very daunting. Different on the phone than in a pub :)

You sounnd like me with mobiles. I am constantly after a new phone! I had only had my current one for about 6 months before I wanted a new one!! I am after the Nokia 8310. I had an erricson phone before and I didnt get on with at all. I have stayed with Nokia ever since,

I'm afraid I probably won't recirpocate the adding of the friends, due to the serious lack of time I have right now, meaning that my friends list is an already unmanagable size, and I'm skipping entries left right and centre. I'd rather not even make out that I'm reading them, rather than give the impression I read them, then not doing it. Does that make sense? Prolly not, nothing I say does :)
